vista64bit cannot remove rootkit

Hi, I removed some rootkits using the 64 bit version of Hitman Pro, but I still have a problem of downloading 2 critical updates. They fail every time. I also tried the microsoft so-called fixes and they didn't worka- tried updating in safemode with networkingb- turned off all services EXCEPT the microsoft ones.c- tried the sophos Anti-rootkit remover, it found 3 unknown files and under the removeable tab it says "yes (but clean up not recommended for this file)

combofix does not work on Vista 64 bit.Anyone have any other ideas? I sure would appreciate it,ThanksSally

thats a pity they didnt work sally..i can give you the name of a site to burn a disk that you can boot your PC from and it will most likely fix your problem..i dont know if im allowed to put the name of the site up here,so if you want to contact me by e mail,techniproireland@live.ie

Hi Tommy,There is a hidden partition on the laptop and I am doing a complete restore to see if that will cure the problems, I keep an external back-up of all my files, etc.Thanks a bunch for your help. I know that a repair disc can be made online for vista and windows 7http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windo...
